Overland Park Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is Thinking Outside of the Vent

(EstateNewsWire.com, June 13, 2012 ) Overland Park, KS – The Overland Park Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard urges homeowners to clean dryer vents and perform preventative maintenance on their washer as well. “Fire and water can be beneficial or hazardous,” said Bert. “Over 17,000 dryer fires are reported each year, causing injury, death and loss of homes. When a water hose on the washing machine bursts, it can result in thousands of dollars in water damages.”

Harold Bert suggests replacing old washer hoses with new steel braided hoses and to clean the filters. The washer is the easiest one to handle. The dryer is more involved. Many homeowners can do some maintenance on their own, but a professional dryer vent cleaning and repair specialist is recommended for servicing the dryer.

Though the Wizard urges residents to have professional service for the dryer, he will offer some tips for those who insist on doing it themselves. There are tools available at the hardware or home improvement store that homeowners can purchase for removing lint build-up from the dryer vent system. A rotary tool can be attached to a drill to loosen the lint, and then use a shop vac to blow out the ducts.

Bert also advises residents to take the dryer apart, remove the drum and clean inside and around the motor. While the dryer is disassembled, check the bearings and idler pulley for wear. Replace if necessary.

Dryer vent cleaning is messy and time consuming work for the average homeowner, but the Wizard has the tools and equipment to get the job done efficiently. Service by the Wizard ensures the dryer vent system operates efficiently.

Proper appliance maintenance in the laundry room will prevent fire and water damage to the home. Harold Bert recommends a professional dryer vent inspection and cleaning at least once a year. The Wizard has the necessary tools and knowledge to ensure the dryer operates safely and efficiently.
